Chapter -Thomas POV : I couldn't get that scene out of my head . Her body lying there like a corpse , the dried - up blood surrounding her . Her lifeless eyes , I couldn't forget . Even as Damon attacked me , I so was stunned I couldn't even defend myself . Maybe a part of me felt it was deserved . It wasn't supposed to get this bad . She was supposed to call me and beg for forgiveness ! I would have immediately let her out ! How was I supposed to know her phone died ! After Damon stormed into the house , everyone was too afraid to say anything to him , his parents assumed he was just going to his room to cool off but suddenly he came stomping down the steps . Darius looked over in shock . " Damon why do you have bags ? You just got back ! Where are you going ? " Everyone looked on in confusion , Damon had several bags with him heading to the door . Amber frantically rushed over to him along with Davis . " Damon ! What is this ! Why are you being so dramatic ! She made it to the hospital , why are you leaving your family for her ? " Amber's question stunned both Damon and me . What did she mean by that ? Damon's eyes darkened as he looked at his mother . " Is she not my family mother ? The daughter you birthed ? " Amber looked away , too ashamed to look him in the eyes . " That's not what I meant ! I only meant you were raised with Dani . You've only known that gir- " " RABENA ! Her name is RABENA ! " Damon's outburst shook us all . Amber's eyes widened with fright . Her son had never spoken to her in this way , her eyes quickly darkened , all of this was Raben's fault ! It was her fault her precious son was turning on her . " I can't be apart of this family anymore , " Davis rushed to his son . " Damon please , I'm your father , don't act like this . Rabena will be okay , she was able to get to the hospital in time thanks to you . " Damon scuffed and shook his fathers hands off his shoulders . Looking at the man he once saw as the universe with nothing but contempt . " Dad , I love you , but I'll never be able to respect you again . You or my older brothers . " 1/4 Chapter 8 Daniel suddenly jumped up . " Now wait a minute ! You're going too damn far Damon ! It was an accident ! " " Your sister almost dying because you locked her in a hot shed is an accident ? Whatever helps you sleep at night . " As Damon turned to leave , Danielle ran over and grabbed his arm . With tears in her eyes , she began to protest . " Big brother , please don't do this . Rabena will be fine . It wasn't supposed to go this far ; it's all my fault ! I should have just shared my birthday with her then she wouldn't have yelled at me , " Damon looked at his sister in disgust , he had seen this act entirely too much over the years . Her playing victim so everyone could kiss her ass . It became especially bad once Rabena moved back home . Damon pulled his arm out of Danielle's grasp . " I'm sure your victim martyr act works wonders on everyone else , unfortunately I'm immune . " Danielle's eyes darkened , Damon had always been difficult . He acted like she was some sort of devil , meanwhile , Rabena could do no wrong . Still , she had a roll to play , lowering her head she spoke softly through light sobs . " I don't know what you mean big brother . " Thomas walked back into the foyer after cleaning the blood off his face overhearing Damon chastise Danielle . Furious he marched over to the scene , it was one thing to beat up on him , but Danielle didn't deserve this . In a cowardly tone he spoke . " That's enough Damon . None of this was Dani's fault , if you wanna be mad at anyone just be mad at me . I told your family not to interfere , Dani actually told me not to do it . " Damon laughed a disgusted laugh . " I bet she also told you not to worry about Rabena either . Just enough to feign concern . " With that , Damon walked out of the door without any further words . -Rabena's POV : When I finally woke up my body felt like it was as light as a feather . I could vaguely remember what happened . Thomas locking me into the shed and days passing as I slipped away , but how did I end up here ? Suddenly my hospital door opened , Damon came walking in with a cup of coffee . His eyes shot up in shock once he realized I had woken up . Rushing over to my bedside his eyes were filled with relief and concern . " Ruby !! You're woke ! Are you okay ? Do you need anything ? Are you hungry ? " 2/4 18 % Chapter 8 His questions were coming a mile a minute , at this rate I wouldn't be able to answer anything . I chuckled and placed my finger over my lips indicating for him to be quiet . Laughing he made a zipped - up motion across his lips . " I'm okay , but how did I get here ? " Damon filled me on what happened the day he came home , my day three . Thank goodness for that otherwise I would have died . " I see . Well , I'm not surprised they all acted like that . " Damon's face scrunched up . He wasn't surprised either , but I think they still managed to disappoint him . I placed my hand over his and gave a weak smile . " Hey , at least I have you . That's all that matters . " Damon smiled a big smile . " Oh ! I met to tell you ! I spoke with your Uncle Pete . " Shocked , I had Damon explain everything else to me . Turns out Pete and Pera were panicking when I hadn't answered my phone all those days and were getting ready to come to Banton to find me . " So yeah , after I filled them in on everything they were really angry . Your Uncle and Friend are on their way , they should be here Wednesday to take you home . " I smiled a smile of relief , finally I was going home . My time in this dreadful country finally came to an end . I looked over at my big brother , there was a look of sadness on his face , and I realized there was no way 1 was leaving without him . " Damon , come with me to Covington . " " Really ? You really want me to come with you ? " Smiling . " Of course I do . You're my brother . " Damon looked at me like he was about to cry , we had been close from the moment I arrived at the Crest Estate . He had always treated me like his precious little sister , there was no way I was giving that up . The next day I spoke with my Uncle Pete , needless to say he was furious . " I'm goin to kill them ! All of them ! " " Calm down Uncle . I'm okay now ! Damon saved me . He even put my sorry excuse of a husband on his ass . " Hearing that made him calm down a little , but he still had vengeance on his menu . " Tell Damon he's my nephew from this point on . I'm glad he's coming with you ! We'll take care of the rest of 3/4 21:39 Fri , 29 Aug Chapter 8 them in due time . " After speaking with Uncle Pete , I requested for my doctor to come to my room .
